Mrs. Henry Wood, whose death was announced
on THURSDAY though still popular author was
personally an unknown figure in London. Her
novels had ceased TO have much currency. except
among the "lower middle classes" Perhaps
her most remarkable achievement IN recent
years was editing her magazine, 1he
Aroosy into financial success; but
that periodical, too, was seldom seen among liter
ary or cultivated people. OF East Lynne" by
which Mrs. Wood was best known, numerous edi-
tions in three volumes were sold at $6 and OF
one-volume edition. at 81 30. one hundred and fifty
thousand copies were published.
1t il announced that Sir James Stephen
has abandoned his intention of writing a life OF
Carlyle for Mr. John Morley's English Men Of Let
tiers series. Sir James Stephen knew Mr. Carlyle
intimately, and would have written an excellent
life from one point of view. but 1t is doubtful
whether the English public at this moment is keen
for another biography OF that particular ccotcn-
man.

Mr. and Mrs. Georg Henschel gave yesterday at
Princes Hall the first of series of four concerts,

prisng the elite of the musical and critical world.
Mrs Henschel has fairly taken her place
beside her husband O singer, and no American
perhaps no vocalist of similar character-has now
q higher reputation In London.
The current story that Mr.. and Mrs. Bancroft
intend shortly to return to the stage has no par
ticular foundation in fact 1t would be moro
correct 10 say they had never left it. When they
retired from theatrical management it was
forever, but with the intention to resume acting
whenever, after good vacation, favorable op-
portunity might offer itself. This intention they
still have, but no definite plan nor any special
thing IS in view. Mr.. Bancroft,
1 think much regrets never having gone,
as he hoped to do, to America with Mrs.
Bancroft and their full company at time
when they held the copyright of all Robertson 8
plays which they would have produced there pre-
csey as in London. He considers such a journey
now out of the question. The gap their absence
from the London stage occasions remains untitled.

Six British Detectives Watching South
ern Suspects.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, May THE informa-
ton comes from a reliable source in this
city that six English detectives arrived
here about two weeks ago and that they
have since been busy ascertaining the
character and extent of the Irish Nation
al organization. The story goes that the
English authorities received informa-
ton that extremists in the Irish organ
izations intended to give England taste
of their power during the Queens iu-
bilee. Several Suspects under surveil-
lance in London were traced to this
country and New Y ork and Kansas City
found to be their headquarters. Four of
the six detectives who have been at
work in this city followed a man from
New York to Kansas City and the other
two are alleged to have come by the way
Of Chicago, where they left other English
agents at work. It is said that Kansas
City contains a half dozen men who are
believed to have felonious designs
against the British government. A part
of the detectives work is to attend all
anti-coercion and anti English demon
STATIONS and report the effect and infu-
ence OF such meetings.

GETTING READY FOR WAR,
Two New Monitors Shortly to Be Accepted
by the Government.

Two New Monitors Shortly to Be Accepted
by. the Government.
WASHINGTON, d. c.. May THE work
under contracts on the monitors Terror
and Amphitrite is practically finished
and the Navy Department is considering
the nature of the tests that must be sue
cessfully undergone before the vessels
are accepted by the government. The
contracts provide for a sea trial for the
monitors, but this requirement will
doubtless be waived, as it was in the case
of the monitor Puritan, built by John
Roach. Although the work contracted
for has been executed the vessels are
not in a seaworthy condition; the decks
are not laid, there is no steering gear,
and the sides just above the water line
are filled with bolt holes left to secure
the armor belts which will not be ready
for long time. By the use of tenn
porary devices these difficulties might
be overcome and the vessels made ready
for sea but it would require at least
two months work and large outlay of
money to do this. Therefore, it has
been virtually decided to confine these
tests to dock trials of the engines, and if
these results are satisfactory the mont
tors will be accepted.

The Schools Of Europe.
has

The Paris Figaro gives some inter
esting statistics on schools in Europe.
In Russia there are $4,000 schools,
having each an average of SO scholars.
This is one school for $500 inhabit-
ants, at cost of less than half penny
a head of the population. In Austria,
with 100000 inhabitants, there
are $4,000 schools and 100000
scholars. The average number at
each school is 1O4, and the cost per
inhabItant 9Hd. In Italy for %, O0O,-
600 inhabitants there are $4,000
schools, one school for every 600 peo-
pie, at cost of SID. a head. The
average number of pupils at the
school is 40. In Spain there are 81
100000 scholars, 1000 schools, Civ
ing an average of So in each school,
and one school for every 600 inhabit-
ants, as in Italy. The school bill
comes to Is. I'd. head. The number
of schools given for England is So, 900,
which is onefor every 600 inhabitants,
with an average attendance of 50 per
school, and g. cost of Is. Cd. per head.
The Germans have g school for every
700, giving total Of 10000 schools,
with 100 pupils in each, and Is. I'd.
per inhabitant. France has 1000
schools, being one for every 500, with
66 in each school. France would,
therefore, seem to have more schools
than any other great European coun-
try. These schools cost the country

brass binding. If the garment had

wrapping up, threatening to take in
the whole of the slack of the garment

have been beaten out of him. The
minute he found out what had oc-

result being that he was again sen
fenced TO: life in the mines, and start
ed back to the hell he had schemed so
| long to escape from.
When about one month on the
road Ladinski and q young Russian
officer, q political prisoner, managed
to free themselves Of their shacklee
and escape.
Mr.. Ladinski thinks that he and his
companion, q Capt. Komiskoff, must
have walked one thousand miles before
they telt themselves safe. They went
across the border OF Austria and man
aged to make their way to England.
They remained in London for year,
when Komiskoff took g. notion to
come to the United States.
Ladlnski supported himself by CIV
ing music and painting lessons, and
while there married an English lady,
who brought him quite a dot. They
had two children born to them, and
while the youngest was a babe the
mother died.
When the civil war broke out in the
United States Mr.. Ladinski placed his
children in an asylum and came to
America and enlisted as q private in
the 10th New York. His valor soon
won him promotion, and when the
war closed he was major, was COW
cred with honorable scars, and had
spent four months in Andersonville.
MIR. Ladinski related number o
other incidents in his eventful life, and
when asked why it was that he, q
Pole, chose for his companions Rus

now American citizens. America is q
good enough country for us. We in
tend to live in Colorado. We have
some money and will buy ranches.
We are not bloodthirsty villains"
The major laughed heartily as he
drained his beer, saying something in
Russian to his companions, which
caused them to smile, also. He is a.

The genuine mlser usually devotes
